Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Cinnamon Rolls:
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
- 8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (optional)
- Extra Nutella for drizzling (optional)
How to Make Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Prep Your Pan and Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). While the oven heats up, grease a small baking dish to prevent sticking—this ensures every roll lifts out beautifully golden and intact.
Step 2: Unroll the Dough
Take each cinnamon roll out of its tube and gently unroll each piece into a flat strip. Work slowly so the dough doesn’t tear, setting you up for perfectly rolled pastries.
Step 3: Mix the Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls Filling
In a small bowl, combine the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates, cocoa powder, brown sugar, Nutella, and ground cinnamon. Stir until everything is evenly mixed. The aroma will already start making your kitchen smell heavenly!
Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Spread a thin, even layer of the chocolate-hazelnut filling onto each unrolled strip of dough. Make sure to get close to the edges so every bite is packed with flavor. Roll each strip back up gently, pressing lightly to seal.
Step 5: Arrange and Butter
Place your filled cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each. Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter—it helps develop that irresistible golden finish in the oven.
Step 6: Bake
Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell absolutely incredible—resist peeking so they don’t lose heat!
Step 7: Ice and Decorate
While the rolls are still warm, pop the included icing tub in the microwave for just a few seconds to loosen it. Drizzle generously over all the rolls. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and, if you want to go all-out, drizzle with extra Nutella for the grand finale.
How to Serve Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls
Garnishes
Top each roll with extra chopped toasted hazelnuts for a delightful crunch and rustic look. A drizzle of warm Nutella or even some chocolate shavings transforms the Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls from tasty to truly show-stopping.
Side Dishes
Balance the rolls with something fresh and light—a bowl of fresh berries, sliced oranges, or a fruit salad. If serving for brunch, a big mug of coffee or a vanilla latte complements all the chocolate and hazelnut notes.
Creative Ways to Present
For a festive brunch, arrange the Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls on a pretty cake stand and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. For a dessert crowd, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or an extra splash of Nutella sauce on the side.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls left, cool them to room temperature, then store in an airtight container. They’ll stay soft and flavorful for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing
Want to have a stash ready for sweet cravings? Once baked and cooled, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and freeze in a resealable bag. They’ll keep their best texture for about 2 months—just be sure to thaw and reheat before enjoying.
Reheating
To revive that fresh-baked magic, warm your Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls in the microwave for 15–20 seconds. If reheating several at once, place them in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and bake at 325°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.
FAQs
Can I make Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls the night before?
Absolutely! Prep them through the assembly step, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, simply pop them in the oven—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time since they’ll start cold.
What can I use instead of Ferrero Rocher chocolates?
If you don’t have Ferrero Rocher, try using another chocolate hazelnut candy or even a mix of chopped chocolate and roasted hazelnuts for similar flavor and crunch.
Can I make these cinnamon rolls from scratch?
Yes, you can swap the ready-made dough for your favorite homemade cinnamon roll dough. Just prepare and roll them as directed, and add the Ferrero Rocher filling as outlined above.
Do Ferrero Rocher Cinnamon Rolls work as a dessert and breakfast?
They’re fantastic for both! Serve them as a wow-worthy brunch treat, or warm for dessert with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream—the chocolate and hazelnut flavors are welcome any time of day.
How do I prevent the rolls from sticking to the pan?
A generous coating of butter or nonstick spray is key. You can also line the bottom of your dish with parchment paper for easy, fuss-free removal.
